Includes a condensed version of one of his great monologues, from October 1965 (WOR AM-FM, New York). It's a humorous tale of grenade-replica cigarette lighters, the real George Washington, crime in real life vs. on TV, and life among the rednecks in Covington, KY, in the 1950s. Intro by KD. This is a rerun of NWN #52 (February 2009--not archived here). The uncondensed...

30-minute radio program for June 12, 2018. All new episode! (most of which is 56 years old). This is the third in our series of classic monologues by the great radio humorist / satirist / storyteller Jean Shepherd (condensed by K.D.). As usual, Shepherd pokes fun at Americans' vices and follies--including our crazy junk, our unrealistic "realistic" TV shows; our love of doing things just to see if they can be done; the rationalizations we concoct to justify our love of space flights...

30-minute radio program for January 20, 2015. A look at radio great Jean Shepherd's amusing critiques of Americans' phoniness, consumerism, and false sense of "progress." Shepherd's words are from the 1950s but are just as relevant today (except for his grumble about automobile tail fins). KD reads and briefly discusses Shepherd's famous short essay, "The Night People vs. 'Creeping Meatballism'" (1957). Then--with more on the same theme--we hear selections from one of...
